Ed Reed is a football savant. He still remembers the plays he made and why he made him like yesterday.

Ed Reed’s football IQ is so insane. He talks about super complex things in such a simplistic way. Like it’s all light work to him 😂😂😂. A one of one!!!

I've been watching the Pivot Podcast since they started , and as I'm sitting here watching this episode I'm saying to myself the fact they can collectively do this and there be no egos involved is amazing. Definitely a fan of not just the show but the fellas showing that men of the culture can work together and have a positive impact without egos or one trying to be bigger then the other🙏🏾💪🏾

As fans man there are games that you just realize you're watching something iconic. As a Steelers fan I feel privileged to have watched the battles Ed and the Ravens had with the Steelers. Everyone gets wrapped up in everything else and I don't think we truly realize how special the talent we watch is.

I was blessed to have this man as a coach for a short time period he taught us so much about the game. About being a man and how become men being accountable having integrity. Coach Reed will always be Coach Reed to me and one of the best coaches and influences in my life!

Ed is a straight up cool cat.. Love his overall outlook on sports & life. Demeanor is one of a kind...

My man has fully embraced the Uncle Ed look, and I'm here for it. Best to ever do it. He would have been a hall of famer even if he were two steps slower. That'd how smart of a player he was. The fact that he could cover ground like he did while also knowing EXACTLY where to be was just unfair.

I love reading the comments section after these dope interviews. I literally hung off of every single word Reed spoke. Like someone said on here already, like an uncle dropping gems. He remembers everything so vividly in his mind. You heard him, he was ALWAYS about TEAM, even though he was the elite true dawg on his teams.
